NASHVILLE, Tenn.  The Florida State Seminoles are on their way to the NCAA Tournaments round of 16 for the first time since 2011 after upsetting top-seeded Xavier with a furious comeback.

PJ Savoy made a 3-pointer with 1:08 left to give Florida State its first lead of the second half, and the Seminoles rallied from a 12-point deficit to beat the Musketeers 75-70 on Sunday night in the second round of the West Region.

The Seminoles made Xavier the second No. 1 seed ousted in tournaments first weekend, sending the Musketeers out along with Virginia.

Three other giants felll Sunday. Second-seeded North Carolina was routed by Texas A&M, and Michigan State and Cincinnati  a pair of 3-seeds  lost to Syracuse and Nevada, respectively.

Meanwhile, Florida State, an 11-seed, is headed to Los Angeles to play Gonzaga on Thursday night for a spot in the Elite Eight.

In addition to hitting the bucket that gave Florida State, Savoy also made a pair of free throws with 21.6 seconds left putting Florida State up 73-70.

Xaviers chance to tie came on a three-point shot by Kerem Kanter, and it was an air ball.

After jumping around on the court and hugging, the jubilant Seminoles ran over to their fans in the stands and slapped high-fives.

This was sweet payback for Florida State after then-No. 11 seed Xavier routed the Seminoles 91-66 a year ago in the very same round in the same region.

Xavier coach Chris Mack had four starters back from that team that wound up losing to Gonzaga in the Elite Eight, and Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton lost his top three scorers  two to the NBA Draft.

The Musketeers didnt get the chance to run away this time around after they took a 12-point lead. They led 56-44 with 10:42 left, and a free throw by Trevon Bluiett gave them a 66-57 edge. But Xavier didnt score a field goal after Kanters jumper with 3:56 left for a 68-66 lead. Mfiondu Kabengele scored his second straight bucket tying it up at 68 with 2:32 to go.

Scruggs hit two free throws with 1:49 left, and that was the last points for Xavier. The Musketeers turned it over three times after that, twice by star Trevon Bluiett, as Florida State finished the game scoring the final seven points.

Braian Angola led five Seminoles in double figures with 16 points. Trent Forrest added 13, Savoy finished with 11, and Phil Cofer and Mann each had 10.

J.P. Macura led Xavier with 17 points, Kanter had 15 and Scruggs had 11.
